Seems fine to me, may just be a skill issue for that lad. Upping the heat bar to 10 could be cool but the maximum of 8 keeps em snappy also.

Any suggestions? What specifically needs work?

still needs major balancing :/

Nice

Yes. It freezes projectiles. Purely to counter Projectile spam and other zoners. Has a minimal effect on the enemy themselves

Yaaay he has supers, I love calling artillery strikes! What dose his new defensive move exactly do though, dose it just freeze projectiles?

Im glad you like it :)

it actually feels fantastic to play as and against now, amazing update

you cant rush peak! thanks for not forgetting pupil!

Sorry for the wait guys. Check patch notes to see changes especially for balancing so he isn't a pain to play BETA is still hasn't dropped but I gotta give you guys something for being so loyal to me and my character

IT'S REAL

WHOA PUPIL UPDATE IS REAL

update......
finally.....
after 1 year of waiting......
FINALLY!!!!

he is getting a balance update very soon

man, the damage for that free atacks is too hig, or maybe is my perception but considere it, its a good mod but for me is too easy win with him, and imposible against him, maybe its just me but, if is not?

I will look into it what where you doing when it crashed?

mod crashes my game, cool

:(

the most idiotic character ive seen

Very cool mod, hoping for more

Thank you bro, but I don't have discord
Take your time and care!

Thx for your support. Visit my Wip mod forum on the YOMI modding discord to see real time development of Pupil and other mods :) https://discord.com/channels/1042370928195162132/1094271594395881632

Damn bro, stay strong and goodluck with that

Yes but due to my schedule and other life responsibilities the development is very slow. so I only get around 1-3 hours of dev time a week into this character w

Is this still being developed on?

# current issues pt 2:
- Driver just outright lies about what frame it hits, generally hitting at around frame 7, and not frame 10
- Flash is absolutely massive for a button that hits frame 4 and is the strongest frame 4 i've ever seen. Seriously, what the hell were you cooking dude. It's also +1 on block (most frame 4 hits are +0 or even -1 or -2 on block, and it's +30 or more on hit
- their heat mechanic is almost entirely pointless, given how absurdly strong pupil is without it.
- a lot of their stances framekill (ready before frame 10)
- their wait is ready in 35 frames?????? Every other wait is ready in 10... If you need the idle animation to work, there's code to make proper idle animations from eons ago...

# current issues pt 1:
- 90% of pupils buttons are like +30 on hit with very low knockback (around half of stuff like Ninjas options.
- A good chunk of their laser options are entirely unpunishable on parry for most characters, being around minus 20 in a range where full dash would be ready in 15 frames, giving only 5 frames to punish.
- All of pupils attacks are anywhere between +20 to +30 on hit, sometimes exceeding the +35 range

Absolutely love Pupil. Keep up the good work!

dogshit character 😹 needs a nerf

You are supposed to balance your heat meter. Using strong laser attacks causing you to build heat (moves with [+x]). you can use the neutral, offensive or defensive vent moves the move that have [-x] to expell that heat. You don't want to stay at max heat since alot of your good zoning tools will be locked off since you don't have the heat capacity to use them. So when at max heat you are a more close range rush down. and at min heat you are a long range zoning power house. use the HighBeam move to enter a new stance similar to cowboys draw. those attacks are some of his stronger attacks the require low heat to use.

If I may also ask, what is the purpose of Heat? Because I don't know how the heat mechanic works. I just always keep heat high because I don't know why I would Vent and reduce my heat for no reward (that I'm aware of).

It is a neutral way to cool yourself down without using vent attacks

If I must inquire, what is the intended use for the move "Vent", as I see no such uses for this particular move.

I love laser man one eye laser big laser one laser one eye laser one big laser one eye laser man

Resetting character cache seems to have done the trick but it's weird that it even happened to begin with lol

Possibly unsubscribe and resubscribe to the mod? I just checked an I can load him just fine. if you are still encountering the issue find me in the Yomi modding discord (I have the same name there) so we can try and figure something out

Pupil causing my game to crash when loading it. Am I doing something wrong or is there are recent update pushed out?

Many unfinished moves are turned off in the current build. that attack will be released in the beta release

How do you use Pharos? Found it in hyper mode and can't figure out how to trigger it in normal gameplay.

He is a bit stronger than vanilla because of some balancing issues. His beta will be balanced for vanilla

Is this balanced around the vanilla characters or no?

cause i just had someone spam flare the whole match which was very annoying

Hey just a suggestion: don't make the projectiles spammable, and if you want to keep it that way, at least make it generate a lot more sadness

I am also an average pupil enjoyer, he is my favorite and my main, also, I like how some of his moves cost super now because some of those seemed way too powerful for free

just wanna say pupil is fucking awesome, feels so cool and the art is incredible. i dont play competitively i literally only play with myself to make cool fights and is easily one of my favorite characters, up with jean and nytreon

Due to stuff irl I cannot put a date on release (The last time I put a date on the beta is said it would be coming out in August that obviously didn't happen) I,ve been swamped with college and work so all I can say is it will come out when it comes out. (I'm also working on a new character so look out for them in the next coming months ;)

is there any eta for the beta release? no pressure its just, it is my favourite character (great work btw) and i really want to see him to his full potential

niceeeeee.

Cascade changes are planned. 2 grounded versions and on air version. I gonna rework the air version startup faster. and be more floaty so you don't have to jump so high to activate. One grounded version will have him jump into the air (similar to beacon) and then fire. And a fully grounded version were he shoots from the ground up into the air at an upwards angle. some of these changes will happen here but other will be added on his steam beta re-release

Can you make resonance cascade a little more usable? I'm only able to use it to it's full extent when I blast myself in the air, and even then, it's pretty telegraphed
